Raúl Gutiérrez will coach the Olympic squad, which is made up entirely of Mexico-based players with the exception of Erick Torres, who plays in MLS. Primarily a U-23 team, three overage players are allowed, and Gutiérrez has selected Alfredo Talavera (age 33), Jorge Torres Nilo (28), and Oribe Peralta (32) as his overage players.

Players have come from nine different clubs, of which Pachuca is the best-represented with five players, followed by Chivas de Guadalajara with four.
